Pick the smallest task, whether complex or not, and just do it!...Doesn’t matter what it is, so long as it’s coding...It could be adding an extra field to an object or table, popping in some validation, anything small and simple. It really doesn’t matter if you do it right or wrong; you’re not doing it to sign off a task, you’re doing it to re-aquaint yourself with your system, by the time you’ve been through X lines of code you’ll be back in work mode and firing on all cylinders, well on your way to getting zoned.
This is excellent advice!
Whenever I'm frozen, this is what I do, and before you know it, I'm doing something else.
- varaon 17y agoYes. When I'm studying math, I work best if I just dive right into the practice problems, then go back and review the notes as needed. Once I find a challenge and get hooked on a problem that I can't quite answer, I'm fully focused. I focus best when I have an immediate challenge or a problem to solve. Same for coding - diving right in to stimulate myself, and then I can start thinking of solutions/designs as I tinker with the small stuff and (re)acquaint myself with the structure/API.
